    You're still increasing all of the angles (tie rods, balljoints, CVs, etc). Increasing angles = increasing wear... period... dot. Generally, with most of the budget lifts like RC spacers, and even the OME setups, you're not too extreme with the angles. So the increased wear and chances of things breaking is there, but not really an imminent issue. When you go further you get to a point where the angles get to the point of causing failures at a much more accelerated rate. What is that exact angle? It doesn't exist, depends on a lot of other factors.

    So the short answer is yes/no. Rock the OME HD setup and don't lose any sleep... but just remember to keep an eye on the front end components so you can identify and correct and wear&tear items early.

    Cool thanks. Right now I using the Rough Country but is maybe a 2 " lift, if I can go with the OMU setup & get 3 1/2 and still be safe (within reason) I might do the plunge for the kit which is about 800 by next year
